Improving roads around Falkirk's Westfield roundabout is expected to help create around 4000 jobs and boost economic growth, councillors heard today (Tuesday).
Members of Falkirk Council's executive agreed to go ahead with revised plans that will see the A9 and A904 around Westfield become dual carriageway, in a bid to improve the movement of traffic between M9 Earlsgate junction and Forth Valley College campus.
However, councillors agreed that the plans to build a futuristic bridge taking pedestrians and cyclists over the roads was no longer feasible, despite Levelling Up funding from the UK government of £20 million.
